About Animated GIF

GIF is an acronym for Graphics Interchange Format. As GIF only supports 256 colors, it is best for images that are flat, with limited colors and crisp detail. GIF files can also contain animation, creating files known as animated GIFs. Animated images in the graphics interchange format (GIF) are commonly found on websites, emails and in instant messaging. Unlike static GIFs, animated GIFs move and catch the viewer's eyes. Film clips can be turned into animated GIFs that play as if you're watching a short movie.

Why Do We Watermark Animated GIF

It may bother you sometimes that animated GIFs you share online will be used without your consent in a way that you never wanted to do. Although there's no good way to safely post images on the Internet, you still can add a watermark on your GIFs to claim the original author of these amazing GIFs.
